Sigma 50-150 f2.8 OS

I was one of the three lucky people to recently buy on eBay a new-in-box 50-150 OS. It's a very nice looking lens and made right before the A series came out. It was also rated by several testing sites as one of the best zoom lenses every made by anyone, and from my brief tests I can easily believe it.

But the actual reason for this post was to say that surprisingly, even though it's not in the new Sigma A, S, C lines it actually works quite well with the MC-11 on my NEX 7 even though it's not supposed to (according to Sigma's official list). The AF is a little hesitant but after about 2 seconds of hunting it's dead on and the OS also works just as good as it does on my SD1M. Needless to say I'm quite pleased.

But this also makes me wonder what other lenses work well with the MC-11 that aren't listed. Anyone have any experience?
